Participated · Equity · Jan 2021
LEX operates a securities marketplace that takes individual commercial buildings public via single-asset IPOs, allowing both accredited and non-accredited investors to buy and sell minority positions in properties. Investments are offered as publicly traded partnership interests so tax benefits of direct real estate ownership can pass through to investors. The platform is powered by Nasdaq’s Universal Matching System (UMS) and supports trading starting at $250 with no lockups. LEX positions its product as an alternative to commingled public REITs by enabling direct investment in single assets and helping property owners unlock equity while retaining operational control. The company highlights a strategic partnership with Nasdaq and an expanding senior advisory and board team to advance its marketplace. Most recently LEX closed new financing as it continues to scale its marketplace and broaden investor access to commercial real estate. LEX operates a marketplace that lets everyday retail investors purchase and trade shares of individual commercial real estate properties, enabling customizable income-producing portfolios. The platform issues shares under Regulation A so non-accredited investors can participate, and those shares will be publicly tradable partnership interests that pass through tax benefits. LEX will price offered securities initially at $100 to simplify portfolio construction and will provide tools for users to research and compare properties. Property owners can sell ownership interests while retaining operational control, unlocking equity without full property sales. The company was founded by Drew Sterrett (CEO), Dean Sterrett (Head of Product), and Jesse Daugherty (a former Google engineer). LEX recently closed seed financing to advance its marketplace and expand access to the asset class.
